4. Stage from Hostel on the Hill to Carrapateira

This morning I again started my day at the (regular) Hostel on the Hill. The breakfast was delicious again, even though I ordered something different and it was served at 09:15 instead of the agreed time of 08:30... Relax and take it easy 😎

The weather had everything to offer today; it was quite fresh in the morning with a strong breeze. Even a few isolated raindrops made it to the ground. As the day went on, it warmed up and the sun came out as usual.

On the way, I initiated a video call with Monika; it felt good.

After a second breakfast and a delicious cappuccino, I continued towards the coast. Once there, my pace noticeably slowed down. There is just so much (coast) to see, and thanks to Komoot, I could choose beautiful route variations right along the coast. A few times, I should have paid more attention to the path. I had to backtrack a bit to get back on my route.

At a lovely, but very busy beach, I treated myself to a beer, but had to stray from my usual brand; it was still tasty. In the bar, with a view of the sea and a gentle breeze, I dozed off a bit. 😄

Then it was another hour until I reached my destination for the day. The accommodation is great. The owner immediately offered to wash my clothes and hang them up to dry (all inclusive), as well as drinks and fruit.
